Symptom

Unable to purge the candidate using "Purge Inactive User".

Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental.

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding

Cause

Status of the candidate is not changed to "d" (inactive external suite) but remains "e" (active external suite).

Steps to check: Go to Admin Center -> Data Inspector -> Table_USERS_SYSINFO -> "Valid" field

Resolution

Note : 

  1. One should be cautious here. Please perform these steps only if User Status is "e" 
  2. If the candidates' profile is already created in EC (After MPH is completed), running this job will not be successful
  3. Additionally, kindly ensure that the filter is added as described in step 9 below. If you have not added any filter, all the Onboarding candidates will be made inactive. KINDLY ADD THE FILTER.
  4. If the job is unsuccessful, please create a support ticket so that we can check further to see if a script should be raised.
    @Support Team, please refer to the internal memo.
